AnyVideo Converter HD
AnyVideo Converter HD is a video conversion utility that allows Mac users to convert videos for playback on various devices including Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, iPod, gaming consoles (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, PSP), and computers. It offers preset conversion profiles optimized for each target device, supports multiple input formats, and includes features like audio language selection, subtitle handling, and automatic deinterlacing. The app uses Smart Conversion Technology to analyze source video and determine the most efficient conversion approach, and supports high-speed conversion through processor optimization and remux functionality for compatible files.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAnyVideo Converter HD has not been updated since version 3.0, and there is no evidence of a native Apple Silicon build in the search results or vendor documentation. The app continues to run under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), so this app will stop working entirely on that release—leaving you with less than two years and three months to plan your transition. No active development appears to be underway at the vendor. If you rely on this app for video conversion, consider switching to a modern native alternative now rather than waiting until the deadline. Handbrake is a free, open-source video converter that runs natively on Apple Silicon and supports conversion for iOS devices, Apple TV, and other targets. If you need more convenience features and device presets, FFmpeg (via a third-party GUI like Permute or MediaInfo) also runs natively and offers similar functionality. Both preserve your ability to convert videos without interruption once Rosetta is retired.
